Our History "From Vision to Reality" In 1996 key leaders of Caldwell County business and industry, government, and education came to the table to solve problems that faced them. Those problems
included
an
undesirable
dropout
rate,
the
need
for
high-tech
training
for
the
industrial
and
business
workforce,
and
the
reality
that
85%
of
the
students
entering
the
system's
three
high
schools
indicated
no
plans
to
attend
a
post-secondary
institution.
Ongoing
collaboration
resulted
in
the
concept
of
The
Career
Center
at
CCC&TI.
Even
though
successful
work-based
career
training
programs
existed
nationally,
Caldwell
County
was
the
first
in
North
Carolina
to
form
a
partnership
that
resulted
in
public
school
bond
funds
being
used
to
construct
a
career
training
center
on
a
college
campus.
The
Career
Center
would
serve
high
school
students
during
the
usual
school
day
and
community
college
students
in
the
afternoons
and
evenings.
The
forging
of
an
alliance
among
education,
government,
business
and
industry,
and
the
citizenry
resulted
in
a
model
plan
to
bring
world-class
training
and
education
to
students
in
Caldwell
County.
Careful
planning
and
surveying
of
workforce
needs
in
the
area
by
a
diverse
Planning
Team
resulted
in
four
career
cluster
areas:
Business/Computers,
Furniture
Manufacturing,
Building
Trades,
and
Industrial
Maintenance
Technology.
In
addition,
the
concept
included
program
features
such
as:
Focus
on
workplace
values
and
ethics
Shared
faculty,
facilities,
and
curriculum
resources
among
college,
public
schools,
and
industry
Career
guidance
and
job
placement
Emphasis
on
contextual
learning
through
work-based
learning
experiences
Involvement
and
development
of
the
at-risk
student
population
Inclusion
of
quality
processes
and
practices.
It
was
at
this
point
that
financial
resources
began
to
emerge
to
support
the
concept.
The
public
schools
succeeded,
with
community
support,
to
pass
a
local
bond
referendum
for
2.6
million
dollars
in1997
to
build
the
facility.
The
N.C.
Legislature
then
gave
their
approval
to
the
use
of
public
school
bond
dollars
being
spent
to
build
a
facility
on
the
community
college
campus.
Caldwell
Community
College
sought
and
received
State
Board
Reserve
funding
to
supplement
its
share
of
the
costs
associated
with
the
planning
and
development
of
The
Career
Center.
In
addition,
the
public
school
system
sought
official
designation
through
the
Department
of
Public
Instruction
to
have
staff
funding
for
planning.
Simultaneously,
key
furniture
industry
leaders
contributed
a
cash
startup
fund
for
assistance.
All
of
these
funding
streams
combined
to
collaboratively
move
the
Planning
Team-composed
of
30
business,
community,
and
educational
leaders-into
the
development
and
implementation
phase
for
facilities,
curriculum,
financial
support,
and
instructional
staffing
during
the
twelve-month
period
from
July
1,
1998
to
June
30,
1999.
The
Career
Center
team
has
sought
additional
funding
from
the
Appalachian
Regional
Commission
to
provide
state-of-the-art
technological
infrastructure
for
the
facility.
Furniture
leaders
have
provided
for
the
donation
of
almost
$450,
000
in
equipment
for
that
cluster
of
study.
Additional
sources
of
funding
have
surfaced
to
assist
in
providing
equally
first-class
lab
facilities
for
the
business/computer,
construction,
and
industrial
maintenance
clusters.
Amazingly
enough,
all
efforts
have
merged
so
that
The
Career
Center
opened
to
high
school
students
in
August
1999.
High
school
students
who
choose
to
enroll
will
be
involved
in
three
years
of
technical
training
at
The
Career
Center,
all
three
years
in
the
same
cluster
area
of
study.
They
will
be
on
campus
studying
Level
1
and
Level
2
of
the
curricular
area
during
their
sophomore
and
junior
years.
As
seniors
they
will
be
earning
course
credits
by
apprenticing
or
interning
in
an
area
business
or
industry.
At
the
conclusion
of
their
three
years
of
high
school
study,
the
students
will
be
highly
trained
in
all
of
the
basics
related
to
their
field
